Page 2 Girls DT Project- May - Kate

Welcome to May everyone!

I hope the start of the month was a good one for you, nearly half way through the year, I can't believe it!

As the weather is turning cooler here as we are in Autumn, I was pleasantly warmed up being surrounded by such a lovely kit to work with this month with the pretty spring type colours! 

I have had a few friends and family have babies this time of year, and I myself, have two beautiful daughters (not being Biased at all!) but my layouts steered clear of baby photos or congratulation cards. The We R Memory Keepers – Baby Mine collection is just perfect for the above projects or you might take inspiration from my following examples. 

I love Max Brenner! And thought that the Baby Mine Frame insert was a perfect title for this photo of my babka I had to eat at Max Brenner's. The Doily was perfect as a base on top of my base, and is kind of a representation of food presentation since doily's are quite common in the hospitality industry. I matted my photo on white paper to give it a 'polaroid' view. This is really easy to do as you matt your photo and leave a larger edge at the bottom. The cardstock base looks as though it has orange paint however it is a candy pink and yellow with a bit of white. The green tissue paper adds a great contrast to the colours. I used the Darkroom Door Filmstrip throughout my May projects, by individually cutting the words up.

 When I seen the colours in this kit, I knew I had to scrap this photo that was sitting in my stash. 

The Daily Junque Felt Flower is really highly set, and comes on a clip so would be perfect to actually wear as an accessory to an outfit, not just limited to crafting purposes. I trimmed about 5mm off the top of my flower, this will help with storage later on down the track when I am putting it in a sleeve and into my album. It has a similar feel base-wise to the layout above. However with this layout I tried to place my embellishments on a diagonal so your eye follows down the page. I like using my Kaiser Rhinestones to make flourishes leading on from my flowers. I enjoy using my stamps on paper flowers for something unique as well.

I got these rectangular chipboard offcuts in my kit this month and I really wanted to create a mini album!
I did lots of paint, paper, stamping layers on the chipboard then cut patterned paper to size, punched a hole in the corner and added my ring to bind it. I included a couple of photos of my girls in it, and then went through the online dictionary and found definitions for the words on the Darkroom Door Filmstrips I wanted to use to describe my girls. From there I just printed them off using my printer. I stamped my chipboard heart and then inked it. I tied twine on my ring and you know those Lindt chocolate easter bunnies? I saved the bell off mine and added it to the twine for something unique :) I love saving things like that for use later on!!
